Photo Restoration Procedure and Prices
Step 1.
Send us your original or bring it to us. For $5 we will examine it and determine what needs to be done and give you an accurate estimate as to the cost you will incur. Once we have your approval we will do the following:
Step 2
We will scan your original in High resolution. We will keep your original photograph in a safe place and only work on the scanned copy. The fee for scanning is $10.00. As an alternative, you can bring your original to Staples or Office Max. They can scan the original photograph for you. You must tell them that the scan is for restoration purposes and must be in high resolution. Ask them to set their scanner to 600 pixels per inch or greater. We prefer .tiff files but a .jpeg will do in a pinch.

Step 4
When the work is complete we will provide you with a high resolution digital file from which you will be able to make hard copy prints at a photo finisher of your choice. If you desire, we will be happy to have our professional photo finisher make prints for you. We will try to match the original type of photo paper used. Prices vary according to size and type of photo paper required. Should you wish a size different than the original photograph we will quote you the price for the size you desire.

We charge $15 per quarter hour for our work. We will try to give an as accurate estimate of how long it will take to complete your restoration. Many times the time is less than our estimate but there are circumstances when unforeseen problems may arise requiring more time. If we find that the work will exceed the time we estimated we will contact you for permission to continue.
